"It feels increasingly like a symbol of traveler abroad alienation-what trying to live in a place that isn't home can feel like: confusing, rageful, even physically debilitating." - Sean Fennessey
"If you only see one horror movie in your lifetime, it should be AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON. While hiking in England, David (David Naughton) and Jack (Griffin Dunne) are attacked by a werewolf. David makes it out alive. Sort of. With the help of Alex (Jenny Agutter), David tries to make sense of his beastly instincts . . . and his new best friend, who is also a rotting corpse. Written and directed by genre obsessive John Landis (THE BLUES BROTHERS, COMING TO AMERICA) and featuring unbelievable Academy-Award-winning effects from Rick Baker (STAR WARS, VIDEODROME), this is crowd-slaying, revisionist 1980s horror that does everything right. This includes using the doo-wop song 'Blue Moon' to soundtrack a werewolf’s gore-soaked rampage."(Joseph A. Ziemba)
